Alexis and Virginia Chiyalry.

When the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia
was over here, writes &. J.W. D., he at
tended Virginia ball one evening. He
signified his royal desire to dance with a
certain Richmond belle, and one of his
lackeys in lace was sent to inform her.
She courteOusly sent word that if he de-
sired dance he must come to her and
get it like any other gentleman. He
went. He got it and appeared to enjoy
it. The dance over he left her suddenly
in the middle of the floor and strolled off.
Her southern blood mounted, ard she
coolly walked over 80 him az he stood
talking and very quietly noti6sd him
that his act was ungentlemsnly. He
could not understand her. His English
suddenly failed him, and she returned to
her seat without any apology. This did
not end the matter. A young Southerner
who held her very highly in esteem no
sooner heard of it than he, too, went over
to the Grand Duke and tapped him
lightly on the shoulder. The interpreter
was called into service. Alexis was in
formed that if he did not apologize to
that young lady the son OF the Gear of
all the Russias would be thrashed within
an inch of his life unless he chose
to get up early the next morning and
smell smoke. The Grand Duke apollo
glzed amply. The young people got
married, and the honor of the south was
! impressed as deeply on the potentatelet
as if it had been burned in with an iron.
